Spontaneous purchase but I am so in LOVE with this car.

Looks like 991.1 C4S. You will be impressed how well this car grips. Enjoy and congratulations.

Congratulations! I made the move three years ago and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I still try to drive my 4S every chance I get.

Thanks! I can't get it on the track until December but I did a quick trip to Atlanta the other day was amazed out how much more comfortable it
was than my 997. YES its not quite as engaging but damn....plenty fast and I have yet to be able to break it loose.

I am on Porsche #7:
  • 73 T
  • 74 911
  • 80 SC Weissah
  • 97 Carrera
  • 2004 GT3
  • 2015 Cayman GTS
  • 2013 991.1 Carrera S, PDK, Sport Exhaust, Sun Roof delete & no Sport Chrono****
**** This is the most incredible of them all...in Normal mode, an incredible street cruiser, in Sport mode, my preference, it's a beast, especially with my foot to the floor going past 4000 RPM up to 7800 RPM. We have been to the track 3X, the performance was extraordinary. The car comes with PASM and PTV. I have supplemented the PASM with a DSC V3 Controller, added a center radiator for extra cooling, and covered the front clip of the car in XPEL, and the whole car is ceramic coated. Added a Rennline quick release fire extinguisher and a 2 1/2 Lb. Halotron extinguisher and grill guards over all three front radiators. That's all I plan to do...well at least until the budget shock subsides for wifey. One more item, I have a Garmin Catalyst mounted up.

It s actually aqua blue, my neighbor has a sapphire Panamera Turbo and next to each other it’s maybe a shade different. Other than the radiator screens, tint, clear side markers and a couple other little things it will be Spring before I do much. It’s such an amazing package right out of the box. Strange how it fell into my lap.

+1. One of the great parts of porsche ownership is the community. These forums have helped countless numbers of people with 911 issues. I even found a great group locally for events and drives.

Since you already had a 991 GT3 - how does this compare for you?

I have a GTS and sometimes want one but I then drive with my kids to a restaurant or quick outing and remind myself why I bought this one.

The C4S is such a great platform. Very forgiving, allows you to push the envelope.
You are going to love it. The fun is just beginning.
I went from 991.1 C2S to a 991.2 C4S.
40,000 miles later, I still want to drive it everyday and everywhere. The long and curvy way too lol!
